FOTD: Too Simple to Be a FOTD (using some swap goodies)

Mondays always leave me rushing out the door so I can never do a look that requires lots of blending.  Last night I watched Lisa Eldridge's video about doing a kitten flick and that stuck in my mind for today's look.  I'm sure I've done a cat eye on this blog before but I also played around with several of the products I recieved from Riya at Pinkstrawberrielove.

Swap products used:
Real Doll Makeup Base: I think this didn't prevent creasing around my eyes, nose, and mouth, and on the worry line between my brows (bummer) but I do feel that this nicely filled/smoothed my pores on my cheeks.  In the future I'll just use it on my cheeks :). 
Beauty Credit Blusher in Orange Heart: Looks scary-orange in the pan but becomes a lovely, buildable peach on the cheeks. I love it!
Majolica Majorca Lash Expander Frame Plus Mascara: this has a really interesting brush; it's a dual-sided plastic comb that is great at preventing clumps and separating this fiber-building mascara.  One side has shallow, wide teeth to deposit mascara and the other side is a finer comb.  It was suprisingly easy to put on and lengthens really well! I can tell why this is one of Riya's favorites.
Revlon Facets of Fuchsia on my nails at last ;-)


 Jacket: Express, Tie-neck blouse: Target (oooold), Foundation: Chanel Perfection Lumiere, Lips: Too Faced Glamour Gloss in Barely Legal, Eye Liner: Physicians Formula Glam Brown Eyes Gel CreamLiner (black with bronze sparkles), Eye Shadow: peachy shade from Almay Trio for Browns

The Cat Eye Never Fails

Liquid liner is hard for me to get right, yo! At least, when I'm trying to symmetrically draw on a cat eye.  A skinny little line without a flick isn't that hard. When you get the Cat Eye right, it's like a coy little smirk you have to take off with dual-phase remover. Mrow!
Lips: Revlon Super Lustrous Lipgloss in Peach Petal
Cheeks: Illamasqua Blush in Lover

 I need a haircut.  I don't actually have perma-shadows under my eyes, I just could not get a decent open-eyes picture without casting shadows... darned lighting!
